Celebrating 235 years of their British Craftsmanship
To mark the company’s 235th anniversary, manufacturers of fine knitwear to the HM Queen Elizabeth II, John Smedley, invited ten alumni of the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust to collaborate with them to celebrate the best of British craftsmanship. From luthiers, to goldsmiths, ceramicists, bell founders and beekeepers, we are delighted to be joining such a talented group of inspirational British makers over the course of the next year for a series of films and events. We will also be working with John Smedley to design a special jumper fit for a watchmaker! Only three will ever be produced, one for us, another for their archive and the last will be auctioned to raise funds to support the next generation of master craftspeople at the next Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust Fundraising Gala Dinner in March 2020.
Over the next 12 months there will be programme of events with us and our fellow QEST Craft scholars.
